Why We Raise Soy-Free, Corn-Free Chickens in Georgia

At Wannabe Farms, we believe the quality of your food starts with the quality of your animal’s diet. That’s why we raise our chickens on a feed that’s not just non-GMO, but 100% soy-free, corn-free, and certified organic.

Why go to such extremes? Because shortcuts don’t belong on your plate—or in our pasture.

🌽 Why We Don’t Use Corn

Corn is one of the most heavily sprayed crops in the U.S. It’s often treated with synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and post-harvest chemicals. Even in “non-GMO” feed, corn may be sprayed with glyphosate as a drying agent—leaving residue behind in the grain and, ultimately, the meat.

We’re not interested in meat grown on chemical-laced shortcuts. Our chickens eat better so you can, too.

🌱 Why We Avoid Soy

Soy is a common feed ingredient because it’s cheap and high in protein. But it’s also one of the top genetically modified crops in the country, and it contains natural phytoestrogens that may disrupt hormonal balance in both animals and people.

We believe in feeding our birds as nature intended—and that means keeping soy out of the equation.

🌾 So What Do We Feed Instead?

We work with KOFFI Organic Feed in Kentucky, which sources certified organic grains, rigorously tests for glyphosate and other toxins, and never uses corn, soy, or animal byproducts. The result? Chickens that are healthier, cleaner, and raised with integrity from day one.

Our feed may cost more—but our values aren’t for sale.

🐔 What This Means for You

When you buy chicken from Wannabe Farms, you're feeding your family meat raised without compromise. No hidden ingredients. No hormone disruptors. No glyphosate. Just clean, nourishing food that honors the land and the life behind it.
